full auto 45 Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 JCD stricks it rich again. Like old Don from Don's Guns says, "I don't wanna make any money folks, I just love to sale guns."

Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Almost $45K for one of the lowest 3-digit serial number Colt TSMG's that has appeared on the market? Maybe a few G's high, but find another one for sale if that is what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter63a Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Soon all Colt TSMG'S will retail for $50,000+; buy them now and sell at $100,000 in ten years, if they are not then outlawed. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/blink.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/laugh.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/cool.gif Regards, Walter P.S.

Bob D I believe it is actually 15% no? Correct! Thats $45,400 for the poor buyer and the seller gets just over $31,500. Even if I wanted a colt I don't think I would let myself get raped like that.

Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Could the owner of #114 have realized the entire $45,400 for himself if he sold it privately? I believe he could have, but he would have looked forward to many flakes, emails, appointments, etc. Was it worth it to him to give up $11,825 in commissions for the privilege of washing his hands of the entire deal process? If someone is willing to leave money on the table, that is their conscious decision. As this thread is testament to, their are those who will be more than happy to take advantage of the situation.

John Jr Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 QUOTE give up $11,825 Even given the age base of the majority of colt Thompson owners, it would behoove them to learn to use a digital camera, become familiar with the internet and message boards and at least TRY to sell it themselves. There is no way the owner of COLT 114 should have gotten less than 32K for his prized weapon. He could have gotten at least 38 or 39 out of it on sturm, subguns, or perhaps even here. To employ this disdainful, presumptious asshat J.C. Devine is nothing short of ludicrous. He is NOT THE ONLY WAY TO SELL RARE THOMPSONS! In fact, he should be the most least desirable way to do so. But, I guess since colt Thompsons are selling now for 45K, my Savage must be worth at least 35K. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 I would imagine it is the geriatric crowd, along with the prepubescent nerds, that gravitated to computer literacy long ago. These decrepit octogenarians seem to already populate the gun boards with great frequency as well. Just look at all those dealers with 40 years experience in NFA commerce that inspire the wet behind the ears lads with their old school ways. That leaves the digital camera. A superfluous invention since an old fashioned camera can have the film transfered to a CD and then inserted into hard drive. But even though some Colt TSMG's have commanded over $40K, Savage 1928's seem to have plateaued at $25K. Maybe Devine could swindle some unsuspecting bidder out of $26K.

Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Not if you consider the $85K for the Earl inspired Midas Colt TSMG and the supposed $100K for serial number 167 that was touted as the "#1 Most Perfect Colt TSMG In The U.S." ..... Phil, I do not mean to imply that any TSMG has reached a ceiling on their prices. However, the $25K figure for the 1928 WWII TSMG seems to be the high water mark for the last year.

Sig Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Picked up some information regarding other Thompson items from this auction. Also it seem that #114 had a gavel price IF I am reading my information correctly of $37.500 plus 15% buyer premium ($43,125) and less 20% seller premium from the gavel price ($30,000). As for other items starting with a metal spare parts kit. A Blued steel box, 6-1/4 inches long and hinged lid. Not a reproduction. Was for a 1921 or 1928 & included: firing pin and spring, extractor, hammer pin and spring, brass pull-through with bristle brush, steel pull-through, and a nickle plated first style oiler. It was all in Unissued condition and the seller had a copy of the original invoice from dec 28 1979. Low/high pre-sale estimate was $2000/3000. It sold for $4000 + 15% buyers fee (17% if paid with CC!)
